Description

At least for me

I store memory params in some name and desc of prims, with the params separate by pipe symbols.

The restart converted all the pipe symbols with question marks, everywhere. Why does LL have to be so thorough at all the wrong times :} ?

Object name is also restricted to 63 characters and description to 127 due to SVC-674.

According to LL, pipe characters never worked reliably (ie over sim restart, picking up and rerezzing an item, and sometimes while the item was sitting in-world)... so they converted them all over in the recent rolling restart. Some warning would have been nice.
